Janus is a great piece of software. It's extremely flexible due to its plugin system, and implements all of the fun bits of the WebRTC protocol suite that make it so challenging to build a performant SFU.
The unnamed SFU has different goals. It's aimed at doing just one thing — lectures and talks —, but to scale to thousands of users on a $10 VPS, and to be trivial to deploy (just copy a single binary and a few HTML files to your server).
In a sense, Janus pays the price of its flexibility: there are just too many options that the user has to choose among. The Unnamed SFU tries to eschew options, and therefore be simple enough for your mother to install on her VPS (or even on her laptop — why not?).
